Dasel fails to parse a "null" yaml file about dasel HOT 5 CLOSED

Thank you for the clear examples. I'll take a look at this soon 👍

Hi @varac,

I've made the changes required to get this working as expected. The fixes should also apply to other formats.

The one strange thing I've noticed is that empty YAML documents are marshal'd as JSON - this is down to the YAML package being used and I have raised an issue here: go-yaml/yaml#708

echo 'null' | go dasel -p yaml .
{}
echo '---' | go dasel -p yaml .
{}
echo '' | dasel -p yaml . 
{}

Thanks!

It seems that {} is actually the correct representation: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33510094/syntax-for-empty-dictionary-in-yaml

I'm happy to merge this in and get it released now.

This is now released under v1.13.3.
